The Lagos State Government has introduced a temporary traffic diversion plan following the commencement of reconstruction work at Anthony Village Bus Stop.

The Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, announced the development in a statement shared on his X account on Tuesday.

According to the commissioner, excavation has begun on the damaged section of the road, which has repeatedly deteriorated due to heavy rainfall. The affected area will be reconstructed with interlocking stones to provide a more durable and long-lasting surface.

To ensure the project is carried out safely, the government has implemented temporary traffic adjustments for motorists using the corridor.

Motorists travelling from Fadeyi towards the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway through Anthony Village will be unable to access the route throughout the construction period.

Similarly, drivers intending to use the Anthony Village Bus Stop service lane to connect to Oshodi have been advised to remain on the expressway and use an alternative connecting route further ahead.

The government also noted that motorists travelling from Oshodi towards Anthony–Ikorodu Road via Anthony Village should be aware that there is currently no through road at the project site.

The Ministry of Transportation urged motorists to plan their journeys ahead of time, avoid the affected section where possible and make use of alternative routes to reduce traffic congestion.

The state government appealed for patience and cooperation from road users, assuring residents that the reconstruction is aimed at providing a lasting solution to the recurring road damage.

Authorities expressed appreciation for the understanding of commuters and urged everyone to comply with traffic management measures throughout the duration of the project.
